      2. Pour a ladleful of the batter on the tava and spread it evenly in a circular motion to make 125 mm. (5?) diameter round dosa.
      3. Smear ½ tsp of oil around the edges and cook on a medium flame till the dosa turns light brown in colour.
      4. Spread one portion of the filling evenly over the dosa.
